Goddamn you guys! I was really playing groovy!January 27, 2013 4:10 PMSubscribe

This is great. I'm surprised how much more I like it without the vocals. I would have thought the harmonies were the best thing about CSN. But now I know I would have been wrong. Now I want to get a few friends together and jam.posted by The World Famous at 4:24 PM on January 27, 2013 [2 favorites]

Love this. Thanks for the linkposted by J.W. at 4:37 PM on January 27, 2013

Hey, thanks timsteil. I'm looking forward to hearing this. I really like listening to raw studio outtakes, the back-and-forth between musicians and engineers or producers, and that's even when I don't especially like the music. I actually have a pretty visceral dislike of CS&N, but that's irrelevant n this case. What I like is the peek behind the curtains.

Later on? Psh. I pro tool it to death right there on the spot, as it's happening. If I ever make it big, my studio outtakes will be useless.posted by The World Famous at 5:29 PM on January 27, 2013 [2 favorites]

Oh my. Wow. Thank you *so* much.posted by motty at 5:38 PM on January 27, 2013

Excellent stuff. Crosby's excellent 1971 album If I Could Only Remember My Name has a ton of outtakes floating around too. Basically a backing band of Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, with Crosby, Nash, Young, and Joni Mitchell singing. Pretty much gorgeous from start to finish.

Yes! I'll happily read a making-of article about an album I don't think is particularly good. I've also watched most of those Classic Albums docs.posted by kersplunk at 5:48 PM on January 27, 2013 [1 favorite]

I will take pretty much any excuse for an opportunity to link to this performance of "Long Time Gone" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, and Tom Jones.posted by Flunkie at 7:38 PM on January 27, 2013 [3 favorites]
